Have the devs ever responded to this?? I've been using this app for a few years now - how has this not been a priority?? At least give us a reason why you haven't done this yet? Desktop app, web app, anything - let us sync and listen between devices like every other decent podcast app.
I triply request this as well. Podcast Addict is *nearly* perfect: great widget, great search/library, works with custom feeds, great default setup as well as an outstandingly granular level of customization... the ability to sync between devices is the ONLY feature this app is missing, and it's a big one. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to not have to only ever be able to listen to my podcasts (with the same seamless experience) via a single device.
I understand the main reason why it hasn't been done... synced progress means accounts will be necessary for every user, which means a lot more needed server space, which means more upkeep costs, ongoing security to protect people's information, etc.
There is another issue that's a little more solvable, which is how to deal with secondary devices. I have automated batch download set up, so how would/should my secondary devices be handled regarding that? We wouldn't want our secondary devices to be constantly downloading and deleting episodes as we watch through them on our primary device - that's a waste of data. The solution would be that we'd need to mark a device as our "primary", and then be able to set unique download/update settings for our secondary devices separately.
